    The length and width of the rectangle are 10.5 in and 6.5 in respectively.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    P = 2L + 2W

    P (perimeter of the rectangle) = 34 in

    L (length of the rectangle) = 4 in + W (width of the rectangle)

    Therefore, L = 4 + W

    P = 2L + 2W

    34 = 2 (4 + W) + 2W

    34 = 8 + 2W + 2W

    34 - 8 = 4W

    26 = 4W

    W = 26/4 = 6.5 in

    L = 4 + W = 4 + 6.5 = 10.5 in

    L = 10.5 in

    W = 6.5 in
